Delegating Denver #1 of 56: Alabama

How to Recognize an Alabama Delegate: Alabamians are masters at mixing and matching fashion styles, and are often noted for the vast number of separates that they wear in surprising combination. Their style is fostered by a unique cultural phenomenon: Alabama is home to the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro. This is the location where all unclaimed luggage from all of the nation's airports goes to be unpacked, sorted and sold. It is Alabama's favorite place to shop. Despite their ensembles, all delegates will look vaguely familiar because they are wearing the rest of the country's lost clothing. In addition, all Alabamians wear crimson-colored accessories that feature a bold letter "A," which further highlights their Alabamaness.

Delegates will already be gasping for air when they take in the beauty of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains during an afternoon drive up Interstate 25 to Fort Collins. But the sight of the bold letter "A," seen on the hogback above Colorado State University's Hughes Stadium in the crimsom-colored sunset of a late Colorado summer, will surely take their breath away.
